Rhodan and his team feel disorientations after going through the Gravo-Tunnel but eventually recover their senses. They are taken to the residence of the Heavy Mage, who reveals that he is the Entity Vernoc. He asks for Rhodan's help to capture Puukar but when he says that he intends to find the human race in order to have it enslaved by a Baby Majesty, Rhodan refuses.

Rhodan and his group manage to escape and flee on board of a portion of the Flying City they were kept prisoner in.
